Stir-Fy Beef Lo Mein

Stir-Fry Beef Lo Mein
adapted from Pocket Change Gourmet

After several weeks of doing very little cooking, I actually cooked a real dinner this past week and made this new recipe of Stir-Fry Beef Lo Mein.  It was really, really good.  Better than I expected it to be and is one of my favorite at-home Chinese meals I've ever made.  For the veggies, I used up some things in the fridge - Carrots, zucchini and mushrooms.  I added some frozen snow peas (they were less expensive than fresh) and water chestnuts.  I also just used regular spaghetti noodles since I knew my kids would rather eat spaghetti than a bunch of veggies.  This is a super easy, very quick, a tasty dinner!  I served it with a salad (again, using up stuff in the fridge) and a loaf of french bread.
